DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the entertainment machine of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS The accompanying drawings show the video screen 10 and playing console 12 of the microprocessor-based machine used to play the German game.

Before play begins, a representation of a set of four dominoes is shown on the screen 10. Player inserts coin slot 14
When you put a coin inside, the display on the screen changes to show seven dominoes 16 across the bottom of the screen. This represents the dominoes distributed to the players, and seven dominoes 18 are shown across the top of the screen. The machine is programmed to select from a set of dominoes a domino to be distributed to each of the above, and the dominoes are randomly selected. In the central portion of the screen showing the state of play, 1 dot 1 dosor six' do 2 is shown, and the main part of the set of 13 dominoes is shown as layer ρ on one side of the screen.

The machine is programmed to give five equal chances of success. At the beginning of play, the player chooses the domino tube he would like to place from among the seven allocated to him. This can be done by pressing the selection button opposite that domino. A row of selection buttons is provided on the console 2, one button being placed opposite each domino shown.

The player may also choose to place said domino to the left or right of the dominoes already placed (this choice is at his discretion) by clicking the left selection button on the console or the right selection button 28. This can be done by pressing or K. After selection, the state of play is shown on the screen and the previously selected domino is shown in a position adjacent to the double six domino.

When Zoreyar finishes placing his first domino, the machine picks one domino out of the seven that have been distributed.
Place it to the left or right of the already filled domino (this choice is made arbitrarily by the machine).

The state of play is again shown on the screen.

Thereafter, the game continues as the player and the machine play alternately, and the state of play is continuously shown on the screen. The game ends when either the player or the machine has placed all of the domino gold that was distributed to them, or when one of them has no suitable dominoes to place, and the remaining domino points from those initially distributed are (
The one with the lowest face value) wins.

By inserting coins - times, four games can be played.

Alternatively, when the player or the machine is unable to place any dominoes, the 0 layer η can be made to #/c create the next domino from layer B to be added to the remaining dominoes among those originally distributed. Once exhausted, the game continues as before.

Other machines according to the invention may also be made to allow K to place an @ (bet money) on the outcome of a game.

In this case, it is desirable to have separate coin slots for playing and betting, but alternatively it is possible to have a single coin slot for playing and betting (a common coin slot for different purposes). A selection methane can also be provided for withdrawing the betting tube from the deposited coin stock.

In the machine described above, the dominoes to be distributed are selected by the machine, but the skill factor can also be increased by allowing the player himself to select the dominoes to be distributed to him. In this case too the machine selects the dominoes to be distributed to itself. For this purpose it was created so that on one screen all 28 sets of dominoes and an illuminated point near one domino in the set were shown, in this case the left or right selection on the console. By pressing one of the buttons, the point is moved to the left or right along the indicated domino. l
When you let go of the button, the above point is stopped and the dominoes near it are distributed to the players.

The player then similarly selects the next six dominoes, and the machine selects a domino for itself between each two selections by the player, and then the last domino for itself after the last selection by the player. Make a selection.
